Hi my stepfather is terminally ill stage 4 lung cancer.
Palliative treatment.
Can anyone tell me if there are any energy grants available to him?
He is struggling with the cost of living but equally needs the heating on.
Can any one help with places to access help please?
Thankyou
Hi and welcome to the Online Community but so sorry to hear about your stepfathers diagnosis.
Do call the Macmillan Support Line open from 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00 where you can talk with someone about benefits/financial guidance or just connect with a listening ear.
We also have our Ask an Expert section but do allow a few working days for a reply.
A cancer diagnosis in the family can be such a challenging and stressful time but I do hope you will find the Community a safe place to get support from family members who are navigating the same journey.
The Community is divided into support groups (discussion rooms) so can I recommend you join and post in our general Supporting someone with incurable cancer support group where you will connect with others dealing with the same challenges while supporting family.
If you'd like to connect in with a group click on the Green (Bold) link I have created above. Once the group page opens click on the black banner that says [click to join] at the bottom, or the [Join] button under "Group tools."
You can then introduce yourself by putting up a ‘new post’ by clicking in the box near the top right with + New or + (Depending on the device you are using) and you are ready to go. You could copy and paste the text from this post into your new post.
Please do get back to me if you need further help.
